Government spokesperson David Mencer tells reporters that the list of hostages provided last night by Hamas for the 33 hostages who are being released over 6 weeks contains 25 living hostages and 8 dead hostages..

Eight of the 33 people on the list provided by the Hamas terrorist organization of the Israeli hostages who are being freed during the six-week ceasefire are dead,

...

The families have been informed of the situation of their relatives

...

Israel received the list of hostages last night, a week into the ceasefire. 25 of the hostages are alive, including the seven women who have been released so far, and only 18 living hostages remain of those who are set to be released in the coming weeks.

The next group of hostages will be released on Thursday, followed by another group on Saturday. Israeli civilian Arbel Yehud is expected to be among the hostages who are released this week after Hamas violated the agreement by releasing four IDF lookouts before her.

At least 34 of the hostages who remain in Gaza are believed to be dead.

I would count that as a violation of the ceasefire and has a crime against humanity, the execution of hostages. Time to finish the war.

“Return 80 dead terrorists to Gaza then.”

400. It was 50:1 terrorists to hostages.

In addition, there were reports a few months ago of the approach of IDF forces causing the terrorists to quickly murder the hostages they held in one place in the tunnels.

Probably one of many hidden stories that will come out later.

Must have been hell to live without clean water, full nutrition, any exercise and needed medical care.

Plus the stress of knowing hostile people are in control of your life and could torture or kill you on a whim.

There’ll be a lot of horror stories coming out, from any left alive.

The numbers seem to be purposely obscured, but as few as 23 hostages with fate unknown.

Hamas will NEVER make a full accounting as that would end their negotiating leverage, so 23 might remain fate unknown for years.

My guess is unfortunately the Bibas family is most likely did, maybe the father is still alive but the mother and two children are no longer alive, if they were they would have been released BEFORE the IDF soldiers

Oh, you know, with MOSSAD there’s no accident. I don’t give those returned terrorist’s much hope for the future.

US intelligence has estimated that they believe there are roughly 20 hostages left alive.

The Israeli intel estimates 60 still alive which is probably an optimistic upper limit.

Split the difference and you get maybe 40 still alive.

If Hamas follows through they will release 25 live hostages so at the end of this agreement it is likely that the majority of the still living hostages will have been released and Hamas will be running out of live hostages to transfer. I suspect that the Trump Administration will have very different approach after the first stage of this agreement is over.

They should kill 8/33 of the returning Palestinians in exchange. They choose.

I was floating around the middle east during the 70s and 80s...was always fun to read about terrorists falling out of windows or commiting suicide with two bullets to the head.

Yeah, strange that. I’m willing to bet MOSSAD will be busy, hopefully.

Was sitting at an makeshift out door bar when a small bomb went off about 30 yards away.
We kept drinking and joked about those Pesky Jews...
